The Maid's Contract Marriage (1 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 48
“Sir Arthur.”
“……”
Arthur, who had been lying asleep on the sofa, opened his eyes.
Reina, clad in a white nightgown dress, looked down at him with a startled expression.
Her hair, which had been behind her shoulders, slid forward and spilled down.
Reina brushed the fallen strands back behind her shoulder and asked, slightly flustered,
“Did you sleep here?”
Arthur, who had been silently blinking and gazing up at her, unfolded his arms and sat up.
“……”
A breath drawn slightly deeper than usual.
His half-open eyes and the hand casually smoothing his tousled hair made him appear more languid than normal.
Arthur gave a faint, tired smile, the corners of his lips curling gently upward.
“You woke up early? Why not sleep a bit longer.”
It was the first time Reina had risen so early that she found Arthur still asleep.
Though it was equally unprecedented for Arthur himself to oversleep.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
